Weekly Hello and Welcome to New Followers

Hello everyone - another week has gone by. The seasons are starting to move along - I notice quite a few of you are now getting ready for Fall/autumn sewing. Downunder, I am getting on with summer sewing so that I actually have a wardrobe of me mades to wear this summer. Usually I am starting summer sewing far too late, but this year I decided to change that pattern.

At this time of the week I always welcome new followers to my blog - so hello Patrya, Lado and Kelly.

The Sewing Week That Was:

I finished a blouse. Most of you are familiar with it from the tutorial I ran this week while I was making the blouse.

The Tutorial: - Thank you everyone for your lovely comments. I actually enjoy putting tutorials together and plan to make more in the future. The first will be on buttonholes, because quite a few of us do have anxiety about making the. I will think about starting this in a week or so - I need to get over this tutorial first and get on with making some of my summer wardrobe.

Some of you have requested a tutorial on a collar and stand shirt. I actually have one of these that I want to make up soon. I've made them before, so I'll document the process as a tutorial. I probably won't get around to this for a few weeks yet - I've need to apply for postgraduate courses over the next two months, and each one is very time consuming and tedious. I think the study is easier than the application process:) ) (In psychology, for those of you who are wondering what I am planning to study - if I can get in).On the Sewing Table:

I am going to make a blue shirt next - just the same as my pink shirt. As some of you already know, I love basics for everyday casual wear. My first job when I started this blog was to tackle this task. In some respects, quite boring. But I know that in a few weeks time I will have an everyday wardrobe that works for me. Then I can make some more interesting or fashionable garments, or things that take my fancy.

Yes, I know, I am disciplined :). Or so it seems. The truth is I just got fed up with not having anything reasonable to wear as everyday casual, and couldn't stand the thought of another season like that ! :)

I wonder what your sewing plans are - are you in the middle of something interesting at the moment?

SarahLiz, I think you are doing exactly the kind of sewing you need and want. These are pieces which will be workhorses in your wardrobe. I had a basic wardrobe when working, and used scarves and jackets to spice it up. My style changed quite a bit after retirement.

About Me

Hello, I'm Sarah Liz, and I am attempting to make my own Sew Style wardrobe. It's taking more time than I thought, but one day I will have a Sew Style wardrobe that is just right. And I blog for pleasure and not for profit. Content of sarahlizsewstyle.blogspot.com is copyright, 2013-2017, All Rights Reserved.
